1/10 This time of year is slower for the Blue Marlin (We averaged six Blue Marlin bites a day in the best month...August) but the Big Blues, the big ones are all female, are starting to show up. Many years, March will have the biggest Blue....two years ago..1251 pounds. The fact is male Blue Marlin rarely get bigger than 300 to 400 pounds. It is the females that hit the "Grander" plus sizes. Linda made the comment about "Mother Nature" having something against the females of the world.....
We are starting to book our summer Tournament series, so if you

We got to a "Floater" (any thing that floats can attract fish,
sometimes by the hundreds, so always an exciting find when you get to
be first or second boat there) in December that was a fishing net and
buoy covered with Marine growth, when the Clark's were out with us and
caught twenty fish including Ahi (Yellow Fin Tuna), Mahi (Dorado), and
Ono (Wahoo). The most notable event was a "swing and a miss"..... We
got hit so hard by one bite ,it broke the lure...broke two wires on the
outrigger with the sound of a big auto collision, screamed off twenty
yards of line and continued away freely.
What a great month December was. We had several folks out and the fish were cooperating. Several Spearfish, Blue Marlin, Mahi and Ono. This is the time of year for Spearfish to show in numbers.
Several of our guests: The Clark's, Rob and Heather, Charlie Gillespie and Mike Wagner came from British Columbia, and Charlie was from Anchorage.
